GASRET ALIEV

The vessel is designed for the carriage of general and bulk cargoes, including grain without shifting boards in holds, bulk cargoes with a specific stowage factor of no less than 0.85 m³/t, dangerous goods, timber, and IC/ICC standard containers in holds and on hatch covers (Project No. 19610).
The vessel has been implicated in grain theft schemes involving shipments from the temporarily occupied territory (TOT) of Ukraine.
It is owned by the designated russian maritime shipping company MG-Flot LLC (ООО "МГ-Флот", formerly Transmorflot LLC – ООО "Трансморфлот"). In May 2022, the United States imposed sanctions on Transmorflot LLC and its vessels for transporting weapons for the russian federation.
MG-Flot LLC is linked to Astrakhan businessman Jamaldin Emirmagomedovich Pashayev, who built his business around the Commercial Port of Olya in the Astrakhan region. This location was proposed as a key logistics hub of the "North–South" International Transport Corridor, the creation and construction of which was overseen and controlled by former russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov. The primary purpose of the corridor was to facilitate trade with the designated Islamic Republic of Iran, enabling the import and export of goods via the "North–South" route.
